Maybe I will see the day before how full the flights are. I mean, I guess my main question is whether 1:10 is enough time and what are the chances it won't be... flights out of Germany don't seem to get delayed much and I am not the type to play it safe in case there is only a 25% chance of misconnecting... if there is a 75% chance on the other hand...
The FRA flight can be on time, but are there other flights due in at the same time? What about other flights that should have arrived before yours but got delayed
then cant tell you how many times we arrived on time or early but had to wait for a Gate or wait close to 1/2 for the bags to 1st start coming out. I usually use EWR when flying Intl, and if I wasnt based a few miles away but heading to LA like you are, I would Never think of doing what you are since theres just too many things that can and probably will mess it up at EWR!
My last trip the bags didnt start coming out for 35 mins, I was the 2nd person at the belt and when they did Priority werent the 1st ones either as they should have been. Took close to an hour for me to get both checked bags. true its usually not so bad but it does happen
1:10 is just way too little time with all that goes wrong, Im not saying its not possible to end up 1:10 as being enough time but I sure as heck wouldnt place even a $1 bet on it
